Housed in a sleek, eye-catching bright red glass bottle with a dropper dispenser, the Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist 16 Bonding Serum represents the culmination of over 32 years of research and development. After testing more than 8,000 ingredients, Vichy developed its exclusive Co-Bond Technology, a blend of rhamnose, peptides, and maitake mushroom extract designed to stimulate collagen production and enhance overall skin complexion. In addition to Co-Bond Technology, the serum is also enriched with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to deeply hydrate and brighten the skin.

With its runny, lightweight consistency, the Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist 16 Bonding Serum feels instantly soothing and refreshing on the skin. It absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy residue, and layers well with other skincare products. However, I’m not a fan of the alcohol and silicone in the formulation and find the floral fragrance quite overwhelming. That said, I do enjoy the serum overall—it provides an immediate boost of hydration and has slightly improved my skin’s firmness. This is likely a product that would require consistent use over several months to achieve more noticeable results. While the price point feels a bit high for what it offers, it’s worth considering for those concerned with collagen loss and reduced firmness.
